My apologies, in the previous chapter, Li Lianyi was mistakenly written as Li Xueyan, the female lead from my previous book, "A Life of Battle and Dragons."

When Sean broke through to Three-star War God and gave Jiang Wuming one last chance to strike, Jiang Wuming did not attack. Instead, his aura surged, his internal blood and qi roamed wildly, and his spirit, energy, and essence perfectly fused as he forcefully broke through the limitations within his body.
At this moment, whether it was Sean, who was present, or those watching the match via the Divine Network live broadcast platform, they could clearly see the true qi within Jiang Wuming erupting, growing denser, and its coverage area continuously expanding!
These were signs of him breaking through to the Two-star War God realm!
Jiang Wuming indeed was attempting to break through to the Two-star War God realm.
Jiang Wuming possessed ample foundation; he was one of the people in this world who could break through to the Two-star War God realm at any time, and the easiest to do so – he could break through whenever he wished!
Previously, he had been suppressing his cultivation, wanting his mental cultivation to catch up, to reach the tenth or even eleventh stage of the One-star War God mental domain.
This way, by surpassing the limit in both martial arts and mental domains simultaneously, breaking through to the Two-star War God realm would surely yield unexpected results!
However, at this moment, Jiang Wuming had to abandon this plan.
Because he knew very well that since Sean had broken through to the Three-star War God realm, there was no possibility for him to defeat and kill Sean while remaining at the One-star War God realm!
"Jiang Wuming is about to break through to Two-star War God!"
"According to what Sean said, Jiang Wuming is the legendary eleventh stage of One-star War God, a level no one has ever reached. Therefore, breaking through to the Two-star War God realm should be very easy!"
"Sean has already successfully broken through to the Three-star War God realm. Even if Jiang Wuming breaks through to the Two-star War God realm, he won't be his opponent, right?"
"In the history of global martial arts, there has never been a case of a Two-star War God killing a Three-star War God, but Jiang Wuming is an anomaly. I wonder if he can create a new legend this time?"
...
As Jiang Wuming was attempting and breaking through to the Two-star War God realm, on the Divine Network live broadcast platform, all viewers had discerned this point. From initial shock to understanding, and finally to curiosity, they began flooding the chat again.
"Masters, do you think Jiang Wuming has a chance to turn the tide after breaking through to Two-star War God?"
Just then, one of the hosts, being very clever, used the pause in the fight between Jiang Wuming and Sean as an opportunity to ask Bell and Henry.
"There is no hope whatsoever!"
Bell and Henry declared in unison, directly sentencing Jiang Wuming to death.
Concurrently.
In the hotel conference hall where the Dragon Country martial arts delegation members and staff were located, the previously suppressed atmosphere eased slightly. Some people’s tensed nerves relaxed a little, some took a deep breath, and a flicker of hope appeared in the eyes of those who had looked despairing.
For them, Sean's breakthrough to the Three-star War God realm had made them feel as though Jiang Wuming had fallen into a dark abyss.
Now, Jiang Wuming's breakthrough to the Two-star War God realm was like a ray of light appearing in the abyss.
Would this ray of light be enough to illuminate the abyss completely and allow Jiang Wuming to climb out?
They didn’t know, but it had, after all, brought them hope.
"Marshal Qi, with Wuming breaking through to Two-star War God, can he defeat that Sean?"
Immediately, someone asked, posing the question on everyone's mind.
The speaker was Qin Yuanzheng, the commander of the Eastern Region Army of the Military Department.
Back then, when Jiang Wuming returned to the country and suppressed the Zheng family to stand up for Su Shiyun, Qin Yuanzheng had chosen to protect Jiang Wuming.
Later, Qin Yuanzheng reported Jiang Wuming's identity information to Qi Wufu. From Qi Wufu, he learned of Jiang Wuming's importance and Qi Wufu's high regard for him.
All of this directly led him to make a decision that shocked the entire Dragon Triangle at the time – the Qin family was willing to provide escort for the Su family!
Qin Xiaozhi's father, Qin Linhai, had even personally gone to the Su family to wish Su Yuanshan a happy birthday, lending his support to the Su family!
Now, both publicly and privately, he did not wish for Jiang Wuming to meet with any misfortune.
Swish swish swish...
As Qin Yuanzheng spoke, everyone, including Li Lianyi, turned their gaze towards Qi Wufu.
"According to normal logic, there is almost no hope, and there is no precedent in history. However, everything Wuming has done cannot be judged by normal logic and traditional martial arts understanding. I expect him to continue creating miracles!"
Qi Wufu spoke slowly, his tone still grave.
He could sense everyone's tension and worry. Therefore, even though he felt unsure himself, he did not state it clearly, suppressing his own unease and not showing it on his face.
"I believe you will fulfill your promise."
Hearing Qi Wufu's words, Li Lianyi turned her gaze back to the live broadcast screen, quietly watching Jiang Wuming, and thought to herself.
...
In Europe, in that ancient castle, neither Four-star War God Taylor nor Antony @ Roman felt surprised by Jiang Wuming's breakthrough to Two-star War God.
On the contrary, it would be strange if a genius who was suspected to be at the eleventh stage of One-star War God could not break through to the Two-star War God realm!
"This worm actually wants to struggle in its death throes, it's truly laughable – does he not know that Three-star War God is the watershed of the War God realm?"
Taylor looked at Jiang Wuming on the screen with the gaze of an idiot, chuckling mockingly.
"In this world, all heroes are idiots."
Antony @ Roman, however, frowned slightly and said unpleasantly.
Hmm?
Taylor was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then his heart stirred, understanding that this behind-the-scenes figure with immense power in the War God Hall was dissatisfied with Sean's prolonged inaction.
If it were Antony @ Roman's style of action, he would have attacked immediately after breaking through to kill Jiang Wuming, instead of allowing Jiang Wuming to break through!
On the screen, Sean showed no intention of attacking, merely watching Jiang Wuming break through to the Two-star War God realm.
On the one hand, he had already broken through to the Three-star War God realm and had absolute confidence in his strength, believing that killing Jiang Wuming was a foregone conclusion.
On the other hand, it was Antony @ Roman's point of displeasure – Sean had just spoken, offering Jiang Wuming one last chance to strike.
At this moment, he was fulfilling his promise, waiting for Jiang Wuming to make his move!
"The eleventh stage is indeed miraculous. You just broke through to Two-star War God, and you're already at the sixth stage!"
A few seconds later, Sean noticed the aura emanating from Jiang Wuming and couldn't help but praise.
During the ten years he was imprisoned, he had cultivated to the tenth stage of Two-star War God and made thorough preparations. After breaking through just now, he had only reached the fourth stage of Three-star War God.
This was also within the normal standard.
According to the records in the history of global martial arts, many individuals who cultivated to the tenth stage would directly skip the early stages of the next realm after breaking through.
Without answering, Jiang Wuming silently felt the changes within him after his breakthrough – his physical strength, his bodily functions, and the quality of his true qi and secret power had all undergone a qualitative leap.
"Attack, as I promised, I'll give you one last chance to strike!"
Seeing Jiang Wuming remain silent, Sean stopped wasting words and prepared to end the battle.
"As you wish!"
Jiang Wuming finally cast his gaze towards Sean. Simultaneously, the true qi and secret power within him erupted completely, and his entire aura surged upward, his fighting spirit reaching the sky!
Whoosh!
With his words falling, Jiang Wuming's figure flickered, like a human lightning bolt, and he once again actively lunged towards Sean!
"Can Jiang Wuming continue his legend?"
As Jiang Wuming attacked, martial artists watching this battle across the globe via the Divine Network live broadcast platform, virtually all of them simultaneously harbored this question in their hearts.
There was no answer.
But everyone knew that this was Jiang Wuming's last move.
One strike.
To determine victory and defeat.
To decide life and death!
